Ti‑Jacques: A Cajun Tale (Instant PDF Download)

Every culture keeps itself alive through its stories. The ones told at bedtime, around the fire, on long car rides home from Maw-Maw's house. In Cajun country, those stories have a particular sound — a warmth and a humor and a rhythm that you don't find anywhere else. Ti-Jacques was one of those stories for me. A little frog with a big voice, living his life on the bayou, teaching the kind of lessons that don't feel like lessons at all. I wrote this down because I didn't want it to disappear. Because every child deserves a story that sounds like where they come from.
